Living in Pryde - a GBH News documentary by Jack Doyle, Emily Judem, and Robert Tokanel
"Living in Pryde" is a powerful short documentary following residents of The Pryde—New England’s first LGBTQ+ welcoming, affordable senior housing community. As LGBTQ+ rights face renewed challenges, the film highlights a generation that came of age without basic legal protections. Residents draw on a lifetime of resilience, reflecting on surviving the AIDS crisis, fighting for same-sex marriage, and coming out as transgender. Located in a former public school in Boston’s Hyde Park, The Pryde is both a refuge and a target—a place where community becomes a powerful force in the ongoing fight for civil rights and equality.
Following the screening, Pascale Florestal, associate artistic director, Front Porch Arts Collective, will be in conversation with residents of The Pryde.
